Configurable functions

a conveyor belt ( and ). Configure fixed blanking for the conveyor, for the material

nput an increased size tolerance above the fixed blanking.

nlike the normal size tolerance for blanking, the increased size tolerance allows the

blanked object on a specific side of the area to be larger than the blanked area.

In the area of the increased size tolerance, the object can penetrate the protective field if

it does not exceed the increased size tolerance defined.

 The increased size tolerance must not cover the last beam.

 On fixed blanking with increased size tolerance, you cannot configure a positional tole-

rance or a normal size tolerance in addition.

You can expand the increased size tolerance to the next blanked area as a maximum, or to

the second or second last beam of the light curtain.

Blanked areas require a separate risk analysis!

A blanked area is in principle a hole in the protective field. Check in detail whether and

where blanking is actually required. You must protect the blanked area in another way, e.g.

mechanically. Otherwise you must take the blanked area into consideration in the

calculation of the minimum distance and mount the safety light curtain appropriately.

 After modifying the blanking, check the protective field with the test rod. Instructions

can be found in chapter 7.3.3 on page 65.

 Also pay attention to the warnings in the related chapter.
